As previously reported, the Oscar winner was at her rented villa in Majorca, Spain, enjoying a day off from filming “Cloud Atlas” when she bolted after her daughter, heard something crack in her foot and immediately felt the pain. She went to the emergency room, and paps were in place to capture her exit from the hospital in a wheelchair, not to mention her foot in a large cast.

“I thought I was out of the movie. I mean, I really broke five bones in my foot,” Berry told us during interviews for the film last weekend in Beverly Hills. “It was so physical what I had to do that I thought there’s no way I’m going to be able to just do this. What I found out was with lots of tape and wrapping and things that could be done to get me through the process, I found ways to just grin and bear it and get through it.”

Below, Berry (interviewed alongside her co-star Tom Hanks) says she thought for sure that “Cloud Atlas” directors Tom Tykwer, Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski would replace her with another famous African American actress once she returned to the set with crutches – just two days after production started.

Angela Bassett and Halle Berry have a long history of going up for the same roles. Since the 90s. Whats Love Got to Do With It to X-Men to Dorothy Dandridge and most recently,The Mountaintop on broadway. Halle was right to assume Angela would be the one to replace her if she was out of the project… she knows whats up! LOL!
